[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1123784, member: 48559"] Definitely check out Len's LR rifles on this site. As for scope mounting, it is a fairly straightforward task, as long as you attend to the details. The rifle needs to be held level while you work on it, the base and rings need proper torque (the tools are not horribly expensive) and you need a reference to level the scope while you tighten it down. Depending upon which scope, you can place a level on the top of the elevation turret (if flat surfaced), you can place a reference line across the room and line up the reticle while looking through the scope. I do both of those things, and also use a tool from EXD engineering to ensure the scope is actually centered above the bore of the rifle. Before you remove the rifle and scope from your work bench, go ahead and mount an anti-cant level of your choice on it and calibrate it. Now you're good to go. [/QUOTE]
